Outside Mirrors
WARNING
Be sure to look over your shoulder
before changing lanes:
Changing lanes without taking
into account the actual distance of
the vehicle in the convex mirror is
dangerous. You could have a serious
accident. What you see in the convex
mirror is closer than it appears.
3–28
*Some models.
NOTE
(Driver's Side Wide Angle Mirror
The wide angle mirror has two
curvatures on its surface separated
by a region line into outer and
inner regions. The inner region is
a standard convex mirror whereas
the outer region allows for a wider
range of visibility within the same
sweep. This combination allows for
better assurance when making lane
changes.
Region line
The perceived distance of objects
in the outer and inner regions of
the wide angle mirror is different.
Objects appearing in the outer region
are actually further away than they
are in the inner region.
